Over the past five years, I’ve used two full sets of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires on my 2020 AMG GT C for winter driving, and they’ve been absolutely spectacular. At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), these tires provide better grip than most summer tires do at 60°F (15°C) and above. On dry roads, even at high speeds (up to 168 MPH / 270 KPH), I have full confidence in their performance when taking fast corners, even in temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). Braking performance is also exceptional. On damp surfaces, they inspire more confidence than track-focused tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 while on dry surface. In wet or lightly snow-covered conditions, I can drive cautiously but confidently, knowing they will keep me safe and get me where I need to go. It’s worth noting that my GT C is RWD with nearly 600 HP, so maintaining grip in extreme cold is absolutely crucial—and these tires deliver.

Just purchased a new '14 Audi S5. Did not realize that the stock tires were high performance summers and was faced with a decision to either go with All-Seasons -or Winter's- and just swap out. After extensive research I settled on this tire - and paid a premium - since they are very hard to find. Online retailers said in November that they couldn't get them to Jan!! Makes no sense so I had to buy it at a premium from dealer. All I can say is WOW- glad I did- because these tires represent an amazing feat of engineering. They are just as quiet as my summers with little to no degradation in tire performance. That just doesn't seem possible with a winter tire. I live in the NorthEast- so have put these through a NorEaster along with snow- and has ripped through everything with gusto. Maybe it's the combination of these tires and Audi's quattro system but the car just feels anchored to the road even in the worst weather. Could not be happier with this product and would recommend to any owner especially my fellow Audi enthusiasts.

Only had 2 on the back wheels of a 06 350z. I was able to make it through a MN winter. These tires are great, I plan go with 4 of them next year. Great traction in snow, low noise and nice ride on dry pavement. I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great winter tire.

A trusted brand that has provided a solution that performs well for mixed wintery conditions in Southern Ontario - snow, slush, ice, freezing rain, wet and dry/cold. The first thing that stood out with these tires were how quiet and comfortable they were to drive on, regardless if it was on city streets, highway or country roads. With regards to performance, it has everything I would expect from winter tires: excellent control/stability and maneuverability on the road, braking performance for sudden stops and handing in different winter conditions. Changing lanes on the highway over windrows (snow tracked mounds) is not a white knuckle experience with these tires. I have to say, that these tires live up to the ultra-performance rating while accommodating my "enthusiast" driving style. The only slight drawback I have is the lack-luster handling in the occasional heavy snowfall we get. This is where I have found the X-Ice performance better in this area (despite it being soft and squishy). With the lifespan and performance aging of the PA4s, unfortunately I cannot comment as I've only used these tires for 15K KM. In summary, for the price/performance, I recommend this tire.

I have had these snow tires on my Audi for a number of years and I always go back to them. I am a high mileage driver in all sorts of weather. They are V rated so I get the performance and they are exceptional on snow or ice or slush. I wouldn't use anything else. I trust my Michelins. Oh I use Pilot Sport P4s in the summer (used to use the Pilot Super Sports) - awesome!

The PA4's keep my 2017 Corvette Stingray on the road all winter in Eastern Canada. Excellent traction and handling. They provide a high degree of confidence driving a high power vehicle under winter snow and ice conditions. They are not rated as run-flat but are said to be capable of slow driving for a short distance. I carry a small tire repair kit and compressor just in case.

I bought these tires last winter and they impressed in terms of virtually no increase in noise level, no change in performance and minimal impact on fuel economy. Unfortunately I was disappointed in their performance on snow and ice - slipping more on my AWD Audi than my previous FWD car using x-ice tires. I've since learned that it might be better to have purchased smaller winter tires but have never had to do that before on previous vehicles to achieve confident traction using x-ice tires.

I bought these this last year in anticipation of receiving my 2020 vehicle. I was able to drive them in some brief wet-snow conditions when my car came in tail-end of winter leading into spring (March 2020), and I was quite pleased with their performance and feel on the road. I look forward to seeing how they perform in snow-ice conditions this upcoming year. I looked long and hard to find winter tires that could fit my car in OEM size, and the only ones that would fit the bill were Pirelli or Michelin. I haven't had the best experiences with Pirelli, so I went with Michelin; I couldn't be happier with the decision! I'll keep with Michelin when it comes time to change tires again.

I put a set of new Alpin PA4's on my 2012 9,Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.1 ) I had 3 year old Pirelli P-Zero's before. What a difference! It doesn't get too wintry here on Vancouver Island. Hardly any snow ever, rain, and temps between 38F and 50F. The Pirellis had no grip in the cold. I was sliding sideways and the traction control was constantly kicking in. I know they're summer tires, so that's expected. What a difference! I'm blown away at just how much better the PA4's are. I felt like I was riding on a cloud instead of on hockey pucks, and there's so much grip. I am very impressed. It has totally changed the winter driving experience. The only downside is that my car is going to be a lot dirtier from all the driving!

I bought the Pilot Alpin for my Kia Stinger GT AWD. The car still performed well on wet/dry surfaces. No problems with deep snow & ice. These tires made for confident winter driving without compromising performance. Very quiet, as I could barely tell the noise level difference between my summer tires.
